Transport

Jeremy Lucas is Colchester2020’s Lead Partner for Reducing congestion, changing travel behaviour and improving the transport infrastructure.

This priority aims to reduce congestion through the introduction or improvement of a range of alternative modes of transport – such as public transport, park and ride and cycling – as well as encouraging people to think about the way they travel and to change travel habits.

Within this priority, we will work in partnership to increase the park and ride opportunities and make improvements to the A12 junction and the A133.

In addition, we aim to:

Work with stakeholders and provide leadership in delivering improved information and choice in alternative modes of transport, in turn reducing congestion
Promote the development of walkable neighbourhoods, places that have a recognisable centre, good pedestrian routes and where businesses, schools and shops are near to each other so that people can walk to them from their homes.
